Optus Mobile Phone Plans

Optus mobile phone plans are designed to provide a full range of options for Australian phone users. The range covers everything from low-cost packages to high-end and long-term subscriptions, so there's sure to be one or more Optus mobile phone plans to suit every customer. Like other telecom providers, Optus mobile phone plans are constantly being upgraded, so it's best to ask a representative for currently available plans. Here are some of the most common Optus mobile phone plans you can choose from:

Optus Mobile Phone Cap Plans

These Optus mobile phone plans are on a month-to-month basis with a preset cap to keep your minutes under control. This gives you the cost-management benefits of a prepaid plan while keeping the lower rates of postpaid Optus mobile phone plans. You can choose from seven preset caps, all of which come with a monthly supply of free minutes and SMS messages. These Optus mobile phone plans also offer access to ‘yes' time, which gives you a free 20-minute call during peak hours (8pm to midnight).

Optus Mobile Phone ‘yes' Plans

‘yes' Plans are customizable plans offering an affordable flat rate for a monthly access fee. These Optus mobile phone plans are available in nine cap packages, all of which support video calling, international access, MMS and multimedia, and other standard features of other Optus mobile phone plans. If you're not up for a long-term commitment to Optus mobile phone plans, you can go for a ‘yes' SIM plan, which offers the same flat rate and full access minus the joining or cancellation fees imposed on other Optus mobile phone plans.

Optus Mobile Phone Direct Plans

Direct plans are ideal for light users who don't like complex subscription terms, or who want a new mobile with zero outlay from their Optus mobile phone plans. You pay a slightly higher flat rate for every service, including national and international calls, video calls, 3G access, and all other features available on Optus mobile phone plans. There are currently four Optus mobile phone plans under this category, all of them offering the same full access and discounted call rates.

Optus Mobile Phone Blackberry Cap Plans

These are basically 3G-centric Optus mobile phone plans designed for use with 3G-enabled handsets. The same rates apply to regular calls, with the addition of internet access and other 3G features for a low monthly rate. Blackberry cap plans are offered on fixed-term contracts of 24 months, so they may not be a good choice if you're not up for long-term commitments. If you want the plan's features minus the contract, you can add ‘partial' plans to existing Optus mobile phone plansso you can enjoy the same rates.
